1. The History
Can find absolutely no history about this old workshop whatsoever. Perhaps not surprising, given it is fairly unmemorable and has been abandoned for some considerable time.

2. The Explore
A chance find. Had explored a place nearby and when I was returning home, caught sight of this place so decided to park up and have a look. There’s quite a lot of stuff here but it is very, very derped. If it wasn’t for the very large number of moderately photogenic and heavily rusted vehicles and tractors. I probably would have bothered doing a report on it.

Hi where abouts in south Aston is this please. I live in dinnington and would mind an explore of this place

Its really not that big a place, a few min search on google will give you the most likely places, or a drive / walk around should find it.
People generally wont just hand out locations that have potentially taken them a while to find themselves.
Once you have made some posts & gained trust people may be more helpful.
 
My old "playground" - used to go in there a lot when a mate moved to that village back in 1986.

Cars were in immaculate condition back then. There was a big trailer in the biggest barn with some really cool old stuff in it.

Last time I went was in 2006

Reminds me of one we did in Lancashire circa 2014. The building was gorgeous, a former mansion. And outside there were several old cars including a Jaguar. The building hasn't faired well since, it's in a right state the last time I saw it and I believe the cars were all stolen. Same thing happened to another place someone found with a load of really old cars a couple of years before that. The location got out on 28 Days Looter and the next thing was a certain individual turned up with a low loader and dragged several of the cars out to sell. All goes to show why we keep site locations close to our chests.

someone did that illegally or was it owners decided they were better off gone?

Sorry? Which?

I think the old cars outside the back of the abandoned house were ‘salvaged’ illegally, together with a mass of the contents of the house too. And I think the police thought the same thing - I seem to recall someone was arrested for it? I can’t comment on cars at the one we did in Lancashire but it’s fishy that the minute the location of salvageable Jags was made public knowledge I hear that they have "disappeared". I have been completely out of touch with the Urbex world for a wee while because I had grown tired of vandalism and theft dragging reputable explorers down and tarring us all with the same brush.
